Davis, 22, is one of Floyd Mayweather Jr’s fighters in his stable. It’s still too early to tell right now whether Davis is as good as his resume shows, because he’s been matched against largely journeyman level opposition since he turned pro in 2013.

1-LR_FIGHT NIGHT-PEDRAZA VS SMITH-04162016-2054By Scott Gilfoid: After toiling away at his craft for the past eight years, #1 IBF Stephen Smith (23-2, 13 KOs) finally got a world title shot last Saturday night against unbeaten IBF super featherweight champion Jose Pedraza (22-0, 12 KOs) but it wasn’t to be for the 30-year-old Smith, as he was knocked down and beaten by a 12 round unanimous decision at the Foxwoods Resort, in Mashantucket, Connecticut, USA.

There were some of Smith’s fans who were hoping that he would be the UK’s 13th world champ, but it failed to happen. Smith couldn’t handle the talented 26-year-old Pedraza’s hard jab in the fight.

Jose Pedraza vs. Stephen Smith tonight on Showtime

by

smith44(Credit: Stephanie Trapp/SHOWTIME) By Scott Gilfoid: #1 IBF Stephen Smith (23-1, 12 KOs) will be challenging for a world title tonight against IBF super featherweight champion Jose “Sniper” Pedraza (21-0, 12 KOs) on Showtime Championship Boxing from the Foxwoods Resort, in Mashantucket, Connecticut. Smith, 30, has won his last 10 fights since being whipped by Lee Selby by an 8th round knockout in 2011.

Unfortunately, Smith hasn’t been taking on what I feel are the best fighters during that stretch so it’s hard to know whether he’s improved or not. You can argue that Smith did very little to earn a title shot against the hard hitting Pedraza, as all Smith had to do in order to get the fight with Pedraza was beat these guys: 34-year-old Devis Boschiero, Barrington Brown (6-10), Jacek Wylezol (11-8), and Pedro Navarrete (28-18-3).
